Poem 1: A Beginning

I sat and I wondered, to myself in my head, what shall I do before going to bed? "There's not much day left; there's no time ...

Poem 19: Vote

Its time to vote
I know its time.
I planned and researched
but now why
cant I find where ballots go?
Where am I now?
I do not know the place that tells me where.
Oh no!
I am lost
and now I fear
I may be traveling for years
to get back on that road I left.
It said turn left
that Google map
but I think that what it really meant
was veer right and then look back.
Its five o'clock
times running short.
My map is torn and I'm all for
waiting 'till next time comes 'round.
We vote again, so how 'bout now
finding a place to refill
my coffee?

Voting, you say takes no skill
but I would say its PURE HARD WILL!

  1. Poem 19: Prayer

    It’s time to pray
    Though it’s always time
    There’s never time
    Because I’m busy in my mind

    I planned and set forth
    On a newfound course
    But I can’t seem to find the words
    That speak what I mean
    For when it’s quiet I dream

    I don’t forget to
    But I do, it’s so hard to
    Though it’s not
    For I was made to pray
    All that’s left is just to say

    O’ God you are not there when I do not listen
    O’ gods you hear my cry when I am greedy
    O’ God you fulfill my needs when I am needy
    O’ gods you entrench me in sin so that I glisten

    Now it’s late
    And the days gone by
    And but few times have I said hi
    Why is it that I
    Cannot follow
    You till I die

    The way has been set forth through a gift
    All that’s left is that I set forth and use it

    You are my God and my King
    To you I should turn for everything
    Not only in asking,
    But giving, loving, doing, and listening
